Laura Depp sure has had an exciting past week. First, over in China, she won the 100-meter dash gold medal Sunday morning and set a new world's record with a time of 10.45 seconds and won the 200 meter dash gold medal Thursday. Then came the Friday from Hell, at least for most people. Upon winning ANOTHER gold medal, running a leg in Team USA's 4x100 relay victory, she was instantly taken to the airport to board her personal jet to make the long trip to Seattle in order to have her match against the Reverand Ezekiel Caine. Lucky for her it was a smooth flight in a spacious aircraft allowing for relaxation; as she did not seem affected at all as could be seen during the match later that evening. It has now been two days and Ms. Depp has decided to show up once again to the Key Arena to take in Destined for Greatness from the comforts of the back of the arena. We see her now walking the halls; her wearing a brown sweater-vest, a white blouse beneath it with black dress-like slacks and black thick-heeled shoes with her hair down. Just before she makes a turn to the hall containing the catering for the performers, she notices someone. An old face. Someone whom she literally hadn't seen in years. Eight=20 years at that. Someone whom she had seen perform the very first night she EVER appeared in a wrestling ring--that someone is John Iley. Iley is walking slowing down the corridor, still wearing his neck brace but not a bulky one, along with a t-shirt and jeans. She looks over towards and cocks her head to the right. She recognizes Iley, but only as a face she'd seen before. She cocks her head slightly to the right, trying to recall the name.

Laura: John....(to herself) what was it?...Ansley?...Insley?...(snapping to attention) ILEY! John Iley!
(she goes up to him and extends her right hand)

John stops and sees this young woman walking towards him, he gives her a smile and shakes her hand when she gets to him, his face gives her a look of recognition.

Iley: Hi, I can't help but think I've seen you somewhere before.

He gives her a look as if to say "I'm sure I know you" then he starts to smile.

Iley: Laura Seton! Olympic medalist. Pleasure to meet you!

Laura: Haha...yeah, with that all the over the place now, I guess no more "Laura Depp" for me, huh? Man--I KNEW I remembered you from the NYSWF. Seems like your career took off these last eight years...as has mine.

Iley: You remember me from back then? Wow! Thats... surreal. That's going back awhile, I wasn't even sure I'd be wrestling again after that place closed.

Laura: I thought I was finished what's now two years ago. Of course I remember you! You were in the first match on the card the first night I ever stepped in an arena to deal with...(quietly seething; to herself) him. (perking back up) I remember pretty much everything about those first few months. (shrugs)
Guess that competitive fire never burns out, right?

Iley: It never does. (Looks at the burn scars on his arms and smirks) In more ways than one for me. It's always been a buzz walking out there.

Laura: Yeah, well--I know that feeling; trust me. (getting an "I can't believe it" look) Man, eight years... who would've thought I'd last this long? Probably not Gates or Collins. I hated Collins because I'm sure he hated me. Like it's my fault one of his "favorites" retired because I got back at him for what he did to me.

Iley: I can't knock Collins, he was a good man. But hey, I started wrestling when I was 16, I had my first pro match at 18 and I'm 32 now, so I've been wrestling for around 16 years. I've had my fair share of knocks, emotional AND pyshical. The emotional knocks are easier to lose than the pyshical ones, speaking of which... (Points to his neck)

Laura: Anyways--it looks like you're about to get that (motions her head to his neck) checked out. Looks kind of bad.

Iley: Not as bad as before. I mean, it still hurts, sure. But rehab is bringing things along quite well. Not sure what my future plans are, though.

Laura: Well, I won't keep you anymore, but it was kind of neat running into you.

Iley: Thanks, and nice to meet you too.

They shake hands again and Laura heads off down the hall she had originally intended to head down as Iley turns and continues his trek to the trainer's room as we move away from this to the next portion of the evening. The screen fades to black, and when we fade back in we see an advertisement.

When the advertisement fades, we return to the ringside area, where production staff is putting the finishing touches on the announce table, as the trio sits back down in their chairs.

Alan Ducard: Well we're finally getting a chance to sit back down, and happily they found us another table which could serve our purposes for the evening. I'm sorry to everyone for this little break in the action.

Bryan Harris: Damn that Justin Moreno, thinking he can do whatever he wants... I guess he got what he deserved, though, 'cause Adam Davis has the Tao of Valor Championship and all Justin gets is a lighter load for his gear when he gets back on that plane!

Jimmy Yates: It was a spectacular move that broke our original announce table, but I think the story of the night so far is The Entourage and Derek Shane, which could be a huge change to the LEGACY landscape.

Alan Ducard: I'd love to talk this through further, but I'm afraid we'll have to cut it short as it's time to keep rolling with the show and another very heated match with several questions surrounding it.

Josephina Colbert: Our next match is set for one fall and is a No Limits match. Introducing first…

The lights go out in the arena, and “The Mirror” by Dream Theater starts to play on the sound system, and after a few moments a single white spotlight shines down on the entrance curtain. Gryffin Anselm steps out onto the stage wearing camouflage pants and a gray tanktop. His beard is unruly and long, but his hair is done up in corn-rows.

Josephina Colbert: Hailing from Detroit, Michigan… here is… Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrryffin…. Anselm!!

Alan Ducard: His old music, not a hint of red in his attire… I’d say this is a sign that Gryffin Anselm truly is done with The Diabolik.

Jimmy Yates: Come on, Alan, don’t you think that maybe he’s doing this so you don’t SUSPECT he’s still a member of Diabolik?

Bryan Harris: There’s no reason why Gryffin couldn’t wear red regardless of his affiliation.

Alan Ducard: Well in some ways, it’s very much like gang colors, and it just feels like this might be Gryffin’s way of distancing himself from a group he’s no longer a part of.

Gryffin ducks underneath the top rope and simply walks across the ring, an intense look still on his face. The house lights remain out, the white spotlight continues to follow him as he walks right past Josephina Colbert and just waits in his corner, watching the entrance curtain.

The crowd is buzzing with excitement as they await Cronos Diamante’s arrival to the ring and cheers drown out the presence of Gryffin Anselm standing ready for his opponent in the ring.

Alan Ducard: The fans sure are anxious to see Cronos Diamante. I haven’t heard cheers for him like this since I started announcing.

Jimmy Yates: They shouldn’t be. He’s not worth a penny in the ring.

Bryan Harris: Oh would you shut…

Josephina Colbert: And his opponent…

Bryan is cut off when the lights go out and the sound of crows cawing reverberates over the public address system.

Alan Ducard: Did he change his music?

Suddenly a strobe light starts up and the caws get louder and louder. Before any of the announcers can say anything, a large crow flies out from the entrance and perches itself on the ring post, staring in at Gryffin Anselm who stands there without fear but a little uneasy.

Bryan Harris: This is getting weird. What the hell has happened to Cronos? He’s completely…

Bryan is cut off again as the loud guitar riff from “Blow Me Away” by Breaking Benjamin drowns out the normally deafening cheers and out walks Cronos Diamante as the strobe light drops. Cronos takes a look left and right out into the crowd but he’s almost unable to be recognized.

Alan Ducard: I guess what they’ve all been saying is true. He doesn’t look at all to be like Cronos Diamante anymore.

Bryan Harris: He’s looking more and more like…

Bryan is cut off again when the crow on the ring post flies a short distance down to a perch at ringside very near the announcers booth. Cronos’ expression that of the recent shows of unstableness.

Josephina Colbert: Hailing from The Bronx in New York City… here is… Crrrrrrronos… Di-A-MANTE!!

Cronos wears a pair of Riot combat gothic buckle boots. There’s three buckles on the right side of each boot. Neither boot has the usual three crucifixes carved into his boots. His pants are a dull leather without any writing on them and his shirt has a large crow on the front side with no writing on the back.

Alan Ducard: I don’t know about you guys but I’m…

Bryan Harris: Sick of being cut off mid-speech!!!

Jimmy Yates: Somebody call the wha-wha-whambulance. Floor is all your cry-baby.

Bryan Harris: All I have to say is I don’t see anything on that man right now that says Honor Above All. There’s no writing on his clothes. There’s no crucifixes on his boots. There wasn’t even a video montage.

Alan Ducard: I wonder if we should introduce him as Crow or Cronos. But one thing is for sure. The buckles on those boots could hurt Gryffin in a real bad way.

Cronos steps through the ropes with eyes burning holes through Gryffin Anselm and he doesn’t acknowledge the referee in the ring. Cronos climbs the top rope and perches himself there with his head cocked to the side, waiting for the bell to begin so he can start his match. As soon as the bell rings both men run forward and Gryffin takes a wild swing Cronos hooks his arm and gets him in a back slide for a pin attempt.

Kick out

Gryffin quickly gets to his feet and levels Cronos with a short arm clothesline, he grabs Cronos by his wrist and pulls him up just to level him another short arm clothesline. He does this a third time, but when he goes for the forth Cronos ducks and rolls Gryffin up in a school boy.

Kick out

Cronos and Gryffin both get to their feet and and start exchanging punches. Anselm whips Cronos into the ropes and goes for another clothesline, but Cronos ducks again rebounds off the other side and hits with a clothesline of his own sending both men over the ropes to the outside.

Jimmy Yates: Cronos looking to make it a quick night, but Gryffin isn't going to lose that easy.

Bryan Harris: If at all.

Gryffin lens up against the guard rail and Cronos goes for a follow up cactus clothesline, but Gryffin catches him and flips him over with a back body drop sending him into the front row as fans quickly scatter.

Alan Ducard: This seems to being getting ugly quick, but event hough this is no limits they have to get the pinfall or submission in the ring.

Gryffin grabs a chair and swings it at Cronos, but Cronos luckily moves and the chair hits the guard rail. Cronos grabs a chair of his own and both men swing and the chairs slam together. They swing again with the same reaction. The third time they swing Gryffin swings lower hitting Cronos in the wrist causing him to drop his chair and Gryffin gives him a swift kick to the nuts then levels him with the chair. Gryffin raises the chair above his head.

Bryan Harris: If Gryffin tells Cronos he's his Father I'm leaving.

Jimmy Yates: Well if that's all it takes...

Gryffin swings the chair down, but Cronos instinctively kicks the chair back up into Anselm's face. Cronos gets up and tosses Gryffin back over the guard rail to ringside. Cronos goes to hop over the rail, but Gryffin kicks the guard rail causing Cronos foot to get caught and he does a face plant to the floor. Gryffin grabs a chair and takes a swing at Cronos knee and it connects with a thud, he swings and connects again.

Alan Ducard: Gryffin is trying to take those devastating kicks out of Cronos's arsenal.

Jimmy Yates it looks like that chair shot to the head busted Cronos open as he is starting to get the proverbial crimson mask.

Gryffin grabs Cronos pulling him up and then puts him in a headlock and runs towards the corner he dives over the steps bulldogging Cronos right on top of them giving the steps a swift kick back as he jumps over them to send them into Cronos gut as he is bulldogged on top of them. Gryffin then tosses Cronos into the ring and hooks the leg going for a pin.

Kick Out

Jimmy Yates: Looks like Cronos still has some fight left in him.

Gryffin grabs Cronos and locks in a full nelson and then pushes him down into a full nelson camel clutch combo.

Alan Ducard: Thats the Ne-Han, one of Cronos's signature moves. Gryffin is trying to add insult to injury.

Cronos tries to fight it and reaches towards the rope.

Bryan Harris: this no limits grabbing that rope isn't going to help cronos at all the ref is just there to count a pinfall or hear a submission.

The ref asks Cronos if he wants to submit and he screams no. Gryffin lets go of the old slamming Cronos to the mat then sliding out of the ring. He reaches under the ring apron and grabs a table and slides it into the ring. Gryffin takes a moment to set the table up in the corner and then goes to grab Cronos but is met with an upper cut to the jaw. He follows it up with a quick DDT. Cronos takes a moment and wipes the blood out of his eyes then grabs Anselm and lifts him up into a crucifix powerbomb he hold him up there for a moment and contemplates tossing him through the table, but then he changes his mind and turns around stumbles for a moment before lifting Gryffin back up and launching him over the top rope where he lands with a sickening THUD on the outside. Cronos doesn't follow to the outside he just stands by the ropes looking down at the crumpled heap of Gryffin on the floor.

Jimmy Yates: The tide has just turned in favor of Cronos all he needs to do is go down there and toss him in the ring to get the three count and this is over.

Bryan Harris: Looks like Cronos is too busy burning a hole in him with his eyes.

Alan Ducard: Or he's trying to catch his breath, he has been taking a beating you can see his knee gave out there and he barely was able to hold Gryffin up for that crucifix powerbomb.

After a moment Cronos slides out of the ring and lifts Gryffin up and rolls him into the ring. Gryffin is bleeding from the back of the head. He landed mostly on his shoulders, but the impact caused him to snap his head back and busted it open. Cronos slides back into the ring and lifts Gryffin up.

Jimmy Yates: Cronos could of went for a pin there, and might have got it, but he has his mind ons ending Gryffin a message. Some speculate the Cronos is sending a message from the Diabolik as one of their members, others believe Cronos is just sending a personal message that he is done playing games.

Cronos whips Anselm into the ropes, but Gryffin just stumbles and falls to the mat. Cronos walks over and goes to pick him back up, but Gryffin elbows him in the gut.

Bryan Harris: Gryffin was playing possum.

Jimmy Yates: How Gryffin can move after that power bomb is beyond me?

Turning around and running into the ropes, Gryffin tries for a knee-lift, but Cronos spins out of the way, then drills Gryffin in the back with a roundhouse kick, then spins around and hits a kick to the chest. Before Cronos can go for another shot, Gryffin shoves him back a step. Gryffin stands up, but Cronos hits Gryffin with repeated right hands, backing him up into the table, and blood starts coming down from Gryffin’s forehead. Cronos goes to the far corner, setting up for a Stinger Splash , but at the last moment Anselm steps forward, grabs Cronos and throws him through the table with a powerslam.

Alan Ducard: This is barbaric Anselm is bleeding from both the front and back of his head.

Anselm pulls Cronos out of the corner and goes for a pin.

Kick out

Alan Ducard: How is Cronos still able to move? This carnage is insane we saw the damage done to Moreno and Shane earlier tonight, and I'm afraid it's going to get even worse in the No Limits title match with Issac and Greyson later.

Jimmy Yates: Both of these men are a bloody mess, but this thing isn't over yet.

Bryan Harris: Well it might just be.

Gryffin grabs Cronos in a suplex position and lifts him up possibly going for the Eliminator jackhammer, but it is not to be Cronos fights it and as Gryffin lifts him up Cronos sends a knee into his face causing Gryffin to drop him to the mat. Cronos fires a stiff right to the gut of Anselm causing him to stumble back and drop to a knee. Cronos fires another right, but Gryffin grabs his wrist and sends him into the ropes. as Cronos rebounds off the ropes Gryffin springs up to his feet catching him and slamming him to the mat with a spear and spinebuster combo. Gryffin rolls to his side trying to catch his breath unable to follow up with a pin attempt.

Bryan Harris: Cronos got luckily there he was able to escape from Gryffin's patented jackhamer, but got caught with that spinebuster spear. Gryffin should be making a cover he can catch his breath in the back later.

Cronos uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet, the crowd starts to boo loudly and when Cronos turns around he sees why as James Win, Tino, and Giovanni are standing right in front of him and immediately start beating him down with kicks and punches. Cronos tries to fight back, but 3 on 1 against someone who is already a bloody mess the Diabolik members quickly get the advantage.

Jimmy Yates: I guess it's safe to say Cronos is not a part of Diabolik.

Bryan Harris: Not unless they have some weird initiation hazing process.

The three men drag Cronos to the center of the ring and James Winn sets him up for the Starburst pedigree when the crowd lets out a big cheer followed by some boos, and the three men look toward the entrance walkway.

Alan Ducard: Looks like Cronos is saved... wait maybe I spoke too soon. That's Voodoo coming to the ring carrying a bat, but unfortunately for Cronos he's wearing a Diabolik shirt.

Jimmy Yates: That damn turncoat.

Bryan Harris: Looks like Voodoo has joined the winning team even if Cronos hasn't.

James Win smiles as Voodoo climbs into the ring and points at Cronos with the bat and tell them to hold him up, and they do so. Voodoo rushes at Cronos with the bat, but quickly pivots and clotheslines James Win with the bat causing them to drop Cronos to the mat. Voodoo swings at Gino, but misses by about half an inch as Gino slides out of the ring. Voodoo goes after Giovanni next, but he has already started for the entrance walkway. Voodoo quickly chases all three members of the Diabolik to the back brandishing the baseball bat ready to hit a home run if he catches any of them.

Jimmy Yates: Apparently we were wrong about Voodoo being with Diabolik and the shirt was just to throw off the others so he could get close enough to attack.

Alan Ducard: Voodoo may have chased away Diabolik but both participants of this match are still down on the mat.

Both men push themselves to their feet blood dripping off them, Gryffin takes a swing at Cronos, but Cronos ducks and uses Gryffin's forward momentum to lift him up onto his shoulders and quickly flips him dropping him on head with the Lucifer's honor burning hammer. Cronos collapses on top of Gryffin and uses what little energy he has left to hook the leg.

Three

Josephina Colbert: Here is your winner by pinfall... CRRRRONOS... DI-A-MANTE!!!

Cronos rolls off of Gryffin and uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet as the ref raises his arm in victory.

Alan Ducard: A huge victory for Cronos Diamante, and I guess what he was saying all along about NOT being a member of The Diabolik... people should've listened.

Jimmy Yates: Well there was just so much evidence to him being a part of that group!

Bryan Harris: Yeah, except for the fact that people thought he'd be replacing Gryffin Anselm, and there's NO WAY that The Diabolik would take Cronos Diamante to be on their squad instead of Gryffin Anselm.

Alan Ducard: Well I don't know about that, but at least we got some questions answered here tonight, and hopefully later on tonight we'll get more questions answered in the main event.

Cronos slowly starts to make his way to the back and just when he is about to step through the curtain into the back someone steps through onto the walkway, and it's Voodoo still holding the bat. The two lock eyes and Voodoo grabs Cronos arm and raises it into the air as the crowd cheers then both men disappear into the back.

The camera cuts backstage where we see Andrew Kelley standing next to Ron Bailey, who is all decked out in his University of Georgia warm-up track suit, his iPod in hand, his Bose headphones resting around his neck.

Andrew Kelley: As Destined for Greatness 2008 rolls on, I wanted to get a few words with Ron Bailey about the state of a few different things.

Ron Bailey: Sure, man, let's roll wit' it. What 'chu got?

Andrew Kelley: Well first of all, how do you feel about your match two days ago against Devastation?

Ron Bailey: Well, you know, Devastation's an accomplished cat. Over his career he got more championships than I've had pay per view matches, so am I surprised that he beat me? Maybe not. Do I think I could beat him if I got a rematch? You bet your ass I could.

Andrew Kelley: Certainly no shame in losing a match to LEGACY's first-ever World Champion. Also on the pre-show, we saw the first-ever LEGACY International Heavyweight Champion crowned in Jean-Gerard Baptiste, as he defeated Katsuro Yoshida. Do you see yourself ever challenging for that belt?

Ron thinks for a moment.

Ron Bailey: I heard somethin' 'bout a International Octagon Heavyweight Championship... some dude from the Middle East or somethin' won it. If they be flyin' me aroun' the world? That would be the belt I think I'd want a shot at.

Andrew Kelley: Two of your friends have big matches here tonight, as John Thomas faces Loco Martinez coming up shortly, and X-Calibur challenges for the World Title against Crash in the main event. How do you feel about both of those matches.

Ron Bailey: Well I definately think...

Suddenly Helena Fitzgerald appears and interrupts.

Helena Fitzgerald: Ron, I've been looking all over for you. Come on, we need to go.

Ron looks really confused.

Ron Bailey: Go?! Go where?

Helena Fitzgerald: I've set up a meet and greet for you with some marketing gurus back at the hotel for drinks and ideas. They seem to have some good ideas about initial clients to set you up with for ad campaigns.

Ron shakes his head.

Ron Bailey: Whoa, I ain't goin' nowhere. Like the man said...

Ron nods his head to the side, motioning at Andrew Kelley.

Ron Bailey: ...my boy JT's got his match comin' up next, and I don't wanna miss it!

Helena sighs and then pulls her cell phone out of her clutch purse.

Helena Fitzgerald: Fine, I'll call them and see if they can come to the arena and we can meet in one of the luxury boxes, but Ron, we can't just be cancelling things. We have obligations to people, and if we don't meet those obligations, then we'll lose chances to gain money. You wouldn't want that, now would you?

Ron shakes his head.

Ron Bailey: Nah, but I also wouldn't want to miss JT gettin' a huge win over Loco, 'cause bein' the best friend of two top guys here in LEGACY? That's got its perks, too.

Helena sighs again.

Helena Fitzgerald: Ron, in a couple months time, I'm going to make YOU one of the top guys on the LEGACY roster, but for that to happen, you need to listen to me a little better.

Helena looks at Andrew Kelley.

Helena Fitzgerald: This little interview... is over. Come on, Ron.

Looking confused, Ron looks at Andrew, then looks at Helena.

Ron Bailey: An ass like that? You can't blame me if I gotta follow.

Ron starts down the hall, following his manager, but then he runs back over to Andrew Kelley.

Ron Bailey: Both JT and X gonna win. Bank on it.

Turning around, Ron runs to catch up. Andrew Kelley gets on the mic just as the screen fades out.

Andrew Kelley: John Thomas takes on Loco Martinez, coming up... next!!

We are inside an arena, but not the arena for Destined for Greatness. The opening for Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life", and the crowd roars and Loco Martinez and John Thomas step from the back smiles on their faces, and as they make their way to the ring for a tag team match, but the picture flickers... and then begins to melt the same way you've seen movies get eaten by the projector, as the music continues.

"Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs"

The picture flashes back and a cocky John Thomas walks to the ring with Loco battling Stephen Rawlings.

"And a flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease"

Loco sits on the middle rope holding it open for John.

"Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick"

John grabs Loco who whirls around with venom in his eyes.

"About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens"

John talking vehemently to Loco. Loco shakes his head disbelieving.

"Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before"

Loco standing in the ring wearing the referee's shirt watching Thomas and Stellar battle.

"'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life"

Loco and Thomas rock an opponent in the Co Op Challenge. Loco turns looking for a high five...

"I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film"

... but everything slows as we see Thomas immediately turn his teamwork on its ear with his SICK falling neckbreaker.

"Drive a G.T.O.
Wear a uniform"

We flash to an old picture of Thomas and Loco in matching Stellar Insanity T-Shirts.

"All on government loan"

Flash back to Thomas covering. 1..2..3. Flash to Loco walking up the ramp a confused look on his face.

"I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk"

Thomas pinning Stellar. Loco drops to make the cover.

"No more beating my brains"

The bell rings. Thomas gets up, but then goes right back on the offensive.

"No more beating my brains"

Loco getting in the way of Thomas' continuing attacks on Stellar. Thomas throws Loco out of the way.

"With the liquor and drugs
With the liquor and drugs"

Loco pulls Thomas off Stellar. Gets in the way. thomas goes to push Loco away, but Loco grabs him... Locapitator!

"Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before"

A shot of Loco battling Rawlings. Loco goes for the Locapitator. Misses. Backstage Rawlings and Thomas share a laugh.

"'Cause, of a lust for life (lust for life)"

Thomas and Devastation eye to eye in the ring. Flash to Thomas walking out.

"'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo)
I've got a lust for life (oooh)"

Older footage of Loco and Thomas hanging out sharing a laugh.

"Got a lust for life (oooh)
Oh, a lust for life (oooh)"

Becomes Loco slapping Thomas' bruised cheek playfully.

"Oh, a lust for life (oooh)
A lust for life (oooh)"

Another shot of Thomas nailing the sick falling neckbreaker on Loco.

"I got a lust for life (oooh)
Got a lust for life"

Loco nailing Thomas with the Locapitator, and we finish with a snap shot of Thomas and Loco with their arms around one another. And as the music fades, the picture catches fire. We fade to black, and then an advertisement fades in.

The screen fades out, and we head back to the ringside area.
